Hi guys, as title says really, after discovering last weekend in Coed-y-brenin, that the Geax Barro Mountain tyres that were fitted to my bike when I bought it seem to offer less grip than I am after - I would like to change my tyres.

My current tyres are 2.1 so I want something wider and grippier. I don't want to spend a fortune (ie, £35-£40 a tyre like some seem to be) so have narrowed down to two choices.
    Schwalbe Albert 26 x 2.25. Pair for £28 delivered or; Maxxis High Roller 26 x 2.35 42a super tacky. Pair for £37 delivered

Both seem well thought of and well priced. If there's little difference between the two I'll take the £10 saving and put it towards diesel to take me back to CYB :D

Cheers,
Matt

    Big fan of the Schwalbes myself

    I run a 2.35 Fat Albert up front and a UST Albert on the rear, both tubeless

    Tried the High Rollers but always end up back with Albert
